My grand updated total is 68. Interesting that many of the ones I haven't read are among my teenage daughter's favorites, so they are right here in our house (Frindle, Tales of Despereaux, Inkheart, City of Ember, Ella Enchanted, The Giver ...). Guess I should listen to my kid's recommendations more often!
